Re: testing bulbs for quartz heater?
Fixed!! All 3 bulbs were in fact bad. Just in case someone does a search in the future, the new bulbs checked at 26.5 ohms.
Thanks guys!

Re: testing bulbs for quartz heater?
It doesn't have a traditional light bulb socket, two prong plug is what the element has. I would assume a heating element would have high resistance, but according to my cheap harbor freight multimeter, they are open.
Plus the ceramic is loose from the glass tube so I'm telling myself they gotta be bad, right?
Well I hope anyway, I went ahead and ordered a new set. I will update soon I hope.Leave a comment:

Re: testing bulbs for quartz heater?
Ya tell me about it. We paid 400 bucks for the thing 2 years ago after tornado damage/no power. It lasted 1 1/2 winters.
After spending $400 I hate to pitch it. So I'm going to go ahead and dump $85 worth of bulbs in it and hope I get a few years out of it.
I do love the thing, even though it is an overpriced space heater!
Thank you guys for easing my mind that the bulbs are in fact junk.
I'm not so sure all 3 ever worked, as the box was re-taped when we bought it at Home Depot.
Thanks again!Leave a comment:

Re: testing bulbs for quartz heater?
Well heck, I put it back together for now.
I'll snap some tomorrow. I will say they look bad, badly discolored and the glass spins freely from the ceramic end caps. The bulbs are part number us001 if that helps.Leave a comment:

testing bulbs for quartz heater?
Hello. I have an Edenpure quartz heater that just up and quit. The elements will not light. I've removed the bulbs and ohmed them but all 3 are showing open.
What should they ohm at? Could all 3 crap out at once?
Thanks for any help! -

Hi all. Wow, lots of info here. Hope to learn how to do some things myself rather than pitching electronics in the trash!Leave a comment:
